Maersk ECO Delivery

Decarbonise Logistics.

Maersk ECO Delivery Ocean

Maersk ECO Delivery Ocean is a decarbonisation product which aims to reduce the impact of global trade on our climate. The pioneering service utilises lower greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions fuels* to significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions by up to 84% on a well to wake basis compared to fossil reference fuels.

By integrating Maersk ECO Delivery Ocean into your supply chain, GHG emissions reductions are allocated through use of lower GHG emissions fuels on a Maersk owned or long-term leased asset. This service supports the growing demand for decarbonising logistics while ensuring your cargo is transported conveniently across the world's oceans.

*Maersk defines reduced / lower GHG emissions fuels as fuels with at least 65% reductions in GHG emissions on a lifecycle basis compared to fossil of 94 g CO2e/MJ

A beacon for companies with ambitious decarbonisation targets

In the space of just a few years, there has been a steep change in the commitment across society to reduce GHG emissions. To facilitate this, Maersk is working closely with a broad range of customers to further develop our offerings around lower GHG emissions fuels. Maersk ECO Delivery Ocean has enabled many of our customers to move a step closer to their net-zero GHG emissions ambitions from supply chain-related activities. Its advantages include:

Realised GHG emissions savings

Reduces GHG emissions by purchasing reduced GHG emissions fuel and adding it to Maersk’s direct transport network.
Get GHG emissions savings through a value chain decarbonisation allocation methodology, not offsetting outside of our value chain.

Calculation & Methodology

GHG emissions calculations are following the GLEC V3 methodologies.
Only ISCC certified fuels are used.
Independent audit conducted on processes, methodology and total numbers in accordance to ISAE 3000 and ISAE 3410.
The use of actual fuel consumption calculation methodology ensures primary data emissions calculations.

Easy & flexible

Conveniently add Maersk ECO Delivery Ocean to your ocean contract.
You can choose from a portfolio of product options with different GHG emission reductions compared to reference fossil fuels.
Apply your GHG emissions reductions to geography and the containerised transport of products of your choice to support your decarbonisation strategy.

Efficient

GHG abatement potential to support your GHG emissions savings targets.
Using ECO Delivery does not require additional investment in training and/or infrastructure on your side.
Avoid price uncertainty with fixed price.

Reduced GHG emissions fuels – powering decarbonisation initiatives

Maersk uses fuel blends with low to very low GHG emissions over their life cycle as compared to fossil fuels. Different fuel blends achieve different life cycle GHG reductions depending on their production pathway as shown below.

Up to 21%

emissions savings can be achieved by using a blend of 25% reduced GHG emissions fuels and 75% fossil fuels

Up to 42%

emissions savings can be achieved by using a blend of 50% reduced GHG emissions fuels and 50% fossil fuels

Up to 84%

emissions savings can be achieved by using only reduced GHG emissions fuels

Sharing one network and one planet - how it works

Maersk ECO Delivery Ocean is based on a value chain allocation model, that uses reduced GHG emissions fuels, such as biodiesel or methanol on Maersk owned or long term leased vessels. The GHG emissions reductions can be gained on any trade lane within Maersk’s overall network, covering the agreed distance for your booking.

In September 2023, Maersk was proud to set the world’s first methanol-enabled and powered container vessel on its maiden voyage. With 25 methanol-enabled vessels, Maersk is adding even more reduced GHG emissions fuel to the network for Maersk ECO Delivery customers to access, while building on our multi-fuel strategy for reduced GHG emissions fuel supply through diversification, and strengthening our customers’ capabilities in their decarbonisation ambitions.
